From now on .I decide to read some book to improve my engelish... I find a long time ,finally !! I find a interesting book that name is "Meet Shel Silverstein ",the book introduce the life of the author. In 1964 ,Shel Silverstein wrote a book called the Giving Tree .Shel was a well-known cartoonist .He was a good musician ,too .Shel became known as a great author of books for children because of the Gibving Tree .The Giving Tree tells the story of the friendship between a tree and a boy .The boy plays under the branches of the tree and eats its apples .When the boy grows up to be a man ,the tree gives him its branches to build a hpuse .Then the tree gives the man its trunk to make a boat so he can travel .When the man grows old and tired ,he returns to rest on the stump of the tree. Alomst everyone loves Shel's drawings in the Giving Tree.But I do not like the story ,though .I think it tells a sad story about a selfish boy who uses the tree for himself . I think the boy takes everything from the tree ,until the tree is finally festroyed...
